If you click on the Custom Settings tab in the dialogue you show there will be other settings, including 2D Representation. Might be similar to my image below.
The underlying problem could be that your ID number for each fill could have changed somehow, which would be why fills are defaulting to paving fill rather than Empty fill. This will mean that every time you select a different object you will have to change the fill type. I am not sure how to get your fill ID's to realign with the defaults, but someone will be able to help.
